Hello,
I am so glad to hear from you. I wrote a book on our Dawsons. At the time I did not have much about James W. Dawson, the full brother of my paternal grandmother, Rebecca Jane Dawson. I have found some information later.
I am related to Squire J. Dillon. He and my gr-gr-grandfather, Creed Dillon, were the sons of Squire and Celia or Cecelia (Ward)Dillon. I am also related to Squire J.'s wife, Mary J. Thornton. Her parents were John H. Thornton and Nancy (Shannon) Thornton. My gr. grandmother Dawson was Lydia Thornton. Her parents were William H. Thornton and (forgotten name right now, but I have it. Wm. H. and John H. were brothers. Lydia m. James C. Dawson and had Louisa, Sarah Alice, Rebecca Jane and James W.

I will be glad to share information with you as soon as Christmas is over.
Helen
